Heritage, Craftsmanship & Authentic Character
This robust trestle work table is a rare survivor of practical beauty from the early 20th century. Its thick pine t
...op, approximately 3?cm?(1.2?) deep, has been shaped by decades of use in clubs and schools, bearing the marks, graffiti, and patina of countless hands and tasks. The removable top - unusually always paired with its original base - makes it practical for moving and storage.
On this example, the trestle base is notably different from others in the series, with its own distinctive arch fixing and stance. This variation, combined with the fact that it is the original base for this specific top, gives it a unique integrity and presence.
Visual Details
Photographs show both sides of the top, revealing equal wear and patina, the notched cleats beneath, and the honest surface markings that speak of its working life. The iron base retains its original fittings and displays the distinctive arch design that sets it apart within the group.
Styling Suggestions
Perfect for a garden room, studio, or modern interior seeking a touch of industrial romance. Dress with a linen runner, a cluster of studio tools, or a vase of wild branches, and let the surface tell its story.
Sustainability
Choosing antique work tables preserves the craftsmanship and materials of the past while avoiding the environmental impact of new manufacture.
